Some towns are built for tourists. Ours was built for taste.
Historic New Castle is older than the word “foodie,” but somehow it feels like the word was invented for us. Our brick streets lead not to chain restaurants and food courts but to taverns that have poured ale for centuries, kitchens where recipes are inventions of the week, and bakeries where the air itself feels edible.
Start at the Green—once grazing ground for sheep, now the Saturday market—and walk in any direction:
🥖 Sourdough and macarons fresh enough to hush your inner critic
🍑 Peaches so juicy they could ruin your shirt (worth it)
🥗 Microgreens, soul food, and all the flavors that make a walk a feast
🍵 A hidden teahouse where the teacup chooses you
🍷 Taverns and cafés with menus that feel like time travel
This isn’t “farm to table.” It’s farm to brick sidewalks to a market green that's hundreds of years old.
✨ Every Saturday, the Green fills again—not with livestock, but with flavors you won’t forget, and live music under the trees.
🍴 Hungry yet? Our table is set.
• Zollie’s Jazz Cucina – food that improvises like Coltrane
• Mercury Café & Teahouse – breakfast, books, and serenity
• Jessop’s Tavern – hearty fare and Revolutionary pints
• Rancho Azteca – Mexican flavors with Delaware flair
• Nora Lee’s – Creole spice in a colonial town
And if you can still walk after all that—
🛍️ Find antiques, curiosities, jewelry, books, and cups that gossip more than your aunt.
📍 Historic New Castle: No reservations needed. Just bring an appetite.
